We’ve adapted our most popular service to a virtual environment! Practice for in-person scenarios or new “tele-medicine” scenarios used by many base hospitals.
What's Included
- Private video conference session with one of our Mentors
- Choose between practicing for traditional in-person scenarios or base hospital “tele-medicine” style scenarios
- Screen sharing available to simulate vital signs and cardiac monitor screens
- Marked using electronic GRS
Description
Scenario Practice is the most popular and sought after service that Para-Mentors offers, and for good reason! We offer practice at a level comparable to colleges, base hospitals, and paramedic services. Don’t be left behind after graduation - keep up-to-date and competitive!
What's Included
- Small groups facilitated by 2 Mentors (working paramedic educators)
- Full PCP & ACP equipment: symptom relief, stretchers, iSimulate Zoll & LIFEPAK cardiac monitors
- Electronic GRS rated scenarios
- Private debrief sessions after every scenario
Description
Para-Mentors Open Lab was designed to help paramedic students and graduates get more hands-on practice time with equipment. It can be very challenging to develop the practical skills needed to be successful in school and hiring - we're here to help!
Here's how it works: a group of learners can come in with one of our Mentors and use our facility and equipment, just like you would at college if you booked "lab" time. During this session, you can practice skills like med admin, assessments like RTS, or even run scenarios. Our Mentor will be there to help with equipment and give some feedback.
Equipment available:
- iSimulate Cardiac Monitor (Zoll X-Series / LIFEPAK LP-15)
- Symptom relief - practice medications, “sharps” supplies
- Airway management - oxygen, BVMs, airway adjuncts
- Trauma supplies - dressings, tourniquets, splints, sagar
- Stretcher and scoop stretcher
- Adult, pediatric, neonate mannequins
- Skill sheets and reference material
- An expert Mentor to guide you!
We can offer this at a lower price than our full "Scenario Practice" service, which involves running full-length, structured scenarios with 2 Mentors and private GRS feedback. If you're nearing the end of school or going through service scenario testing, Scenario Practice is the better service for you. Open Lab is meant as a replacement for school lab time to help develop skills and assessments without the stress of maximizing scenario time.
Don't wait until testing to hone your skills - train now and have an advantage at OSCE time!

What clients are saying
I found scenario practice to be very well run with great feedback on what evaluators are looking for. The environment was inviting with just the right amount of people to get the most out of your time. Would highly recommend, especially if you’re looking to refresh your scenario skills!Eli Hoang
I went to the Para-mentors for help with my lifting skills for OPPAT. After failing it the previous year, all of my job opportunity doors were shut. They really helped me with my form and technique, making me successful this year! Awesome people who are really invested in your success.Amanda Jean
I found scenarios awesome with Wonderful instructing and constructive criticism. MMI prep course was very beneficial to me as well. 100% recommend if you need to brush up or have never done MMI’s before.Jerren Pottruff
